Q4 Construction & Real Estate Roundtable:Permitting and Approval Best Practices in City of Worcester

Designed to assist developers and landowners in the pre-development stages of potential and proposed projects with questions relating to permitting processes, zoning compliance, engineering standards, and land use policy considerations the Interdepartmental Review Team or (IRT) meetings are available by appointment to anyone with a proposed development along with site control and preliminary plans.

Joining us to close out the Construction & Real Estate Roundtable for 2026 will be the heads of three departments that participate in the IRT process, Worcester Fire Chief Martin Dyer, Department of Public Works Commissioner John Westerling, and Inspection Services Commissioner Nicholas Antanavica.

Attendees will learn about the process as a whole, commonly discussed topics at IRT, the role each of our speakers play in the permitting and approval process as well as suggestions or best practices for applicants can undertake to go through the process as efficiently as possible.
